53% of black people have reported being constantly confused with another person of the same ethnicity in the workplace, with 71% of black women having their name mispronounced because it’s ‘too hard to say’. This issue is all too common for ethnically diverse workers, with microaggressions and marginalisation being a constant and tiring experience within the workplace, alongside the lack of opportunities and credit for their hard work and efforts. Learning from these reports and making efforts to tackle discrimination in the workplace can only encourage and boosts an organisations performance. ➡️ To access free resources to help you tackle race inequality, join the REM network: http://ow.ly/Lo5q50OFiZf #ActionDrivesChange #RaceEqualityMatters #BlackHistoryMonth Image Credit: Wates

Today is World Mental Health Day and this year the theme is 'It is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace'. This is a powerful theme that highlights the importance of mental health in professional settings. In the UK, 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year and according to an NHS Survey, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities are at a higher risk of developing a mental health problem in adulthood but are less likely to receive support for their mental health. According to the charity, Rethink Mental Illness, one of the reasons why ethnically diverse people experience high rates of mental illness is because of the mental effects of bias, discrimination and racism. ➡️ What does this tell us about the mental impact of racial microaggressions in the workplace? ➡️ What are organisations doing about this? ➡️ What are colleagues, allies and friends doing about this?

Systemic Racism has lent itself to biases and judgements of black men & women that are harmful, hurtful and can limit their opportunities and success due to presumed judgements. Whilst black men often are labelled as ‘dangerous’ and ‘angry’, black women are faced with being referred to as ‘aggressive’ and ‘loud’, or will be met with the title of ‘strong black woman’ should they be happy or confident in themselves and their achievements. These stereotypes have also been fuelled by the media – in a survey of over 10,000 Black Brits by the University of Cambridge, 93% said both Black men and women are negatively stereotyped by media, film and TV, with those surveyed mentioning the portrayal of black people as “victims rather than survivors”. Tackling bias, challenging common beliefs and changing behaviours are all ways to help stamp out the stereotypes that have surrounded and negatively affected the progress of racial equality and caused issues and challenges for black people within society.

‘How Black Men Lose Their Smile’ is a powerful new song by Bashy, which explores his own life story, the prejudices, biases and racism he faced from a young age and touches on generational trauma. Through its lyrical content ‘How Black Men Lose Their Smile’ provides a compelling narrative about the problems within the school system and with society as a whole. He recounts how his school made him change his hairstyle, didn’t provide any extra support and simply deemed him to be ‘trouble’ before he was ‘kicked out’. The song also discusses the lack of black and ethnically diverse teaching staff in schools, and how the curriculum doesn’t support or teach black history. Bashy then talks about how his father is no longer the happy, proud young man he seems to be in photos, and how his Grandfather’s faced has ‘turned hard from the pain he felt’. Weaved between these lines is commentary on the criminalisation of black people, and how structural racism and societal racial bias can have grave consequences. Despite this, Bashy ends the song with a message of hope that these struggles and battles will one day be overcome.

Being an ally is a journey. Allyship requires continuous reflection, understanding, learning and action. It’s not about a one-time gesture, it’s about committing to understanding systemic racism, unlearning biases, calling out discrimination and microaggressions and amplifying marginalised voices. Even if you make mistakes along the way, recognise where you could change and then put it into practice – being open to modifying your language or behaviour will allow you to support underrepresented communities better. Recognising injustice and being willing to learn and grow is the first step to becoming a better ally. As society evolves, so should your efforts to show up – even when it’s uncomfortable. ➡️ To access free resources to tackle race inequality join the REM network: https://lnkd.in/dvPxRvJ Credit: Better Allies #RaceEqualityMatters #ActionDrivesChange #Allyship #ActionNotJustWords #ItsEveryonesBusiness
